Even before the advent of the rebels its prestige as the ancient capital of China alone give it the yes of its far wealthier neighbour—Soochow, and now it seems likely that the latter will permanently eclipse it. 'llie present circumference of its walls is only 18 miles, instead of the 35 miles which it mi.:as - and when Nankin was the capital of Caine; and at the time of its cspture by the Taepings only two-thirds even of the lesser area was estimated to be cceupiA by houses.

By order, Waterloo-bridFREDERICK CLARKE, Secretary. ge Station, Lambeth, London, 22 d September, 1864. -----____ The indefatigable exertions of Mr John Laird, M.P., to secure the safety of our mariners by making the public testing of chains and anchors compulsory have at length been brought to a successful issue. The Chain-cable and Anchor-testing Bill is now fairly in operation, the Board of Trade having ap pointed Mr Robt, Galloway, of London, inspecting engineer under its provisions. Mr Galloway has already paid an official visit to the powerful chain testing machine erected at great expense by the Mersey Board at Birkenhead, and, after a careful inspection, he pronounced the machinery excellen , and the arrangements most complete. The Bit ki n head establishment is considered the most perfcc• in the country, and it will confer an immense benefit on shipping by thoroughly testing that portion of the outfit on which the safety of a vessel and all on board so frequently depends. It would be immensely for the public good if machines of a similar powers ful quality were erected in other places. The chain and anchor manufacturers of the Wear are combining for the formation of a company to erect a chain and anchor test in Sunderland, to comply with the new rules of Lloyd's. The building and machinery, it is estimated, will cost from £5,000 to £7,000. Lloyd's rules are already in force, but to relieve the Wear manufacturers from the difficulty they were in owing to the want of a test, the authorities have agreed to accept certi ficates from the present test, under proper inspec tion, for a period of three months. At, the end of that time the rules will be rigorously enforced, and if there be no test completed the manufacturers must either shut up shop or rend all their prance to be tested on the Tyne.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Monday morning there was a shock of an earthquake in the north of England. At Leeds, Skipton, Silsden, Rochdale, llebden Bridge, Manchester, and other places the peculiar sensation resulting from the shock was felt. In some places persons were awoke by the general tremor, and various descriptions of the phenomenon are given, some comparing it to thunder felt but not heard, others to shaking and .(,eking. The following particulars are from different correspon dents of the _Leeds Mercury : SKTPVON.-11 - strong shock of •earthquake was felt in the district of Craven about 12.30 yesterday morning. The shock was preceded by a rushing noise, not un:ike that produced by the machinery of a mill during working hours. Macy persons were awakened from their sleep, either by the noise or the shaking of the bed. Many people describe the ethet experienced by them being similar to an elec tric shock. We have heard of no damage being done. The tremor lasted for three or four seconds.

NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. &There was about the usual attendance on the Heath this (Tuesday) morning. Thalestris proved herself a stayer in the Fifteenth Triennial by making all the running and winning in a canter, the favourites, Early Purl and Sca mander, being beaten at the hill. The Hopeful looked a rather open race for the young ones, who, from the penal ties, met on pretty equal terms. The result was a grand turn for the fielders, Puritan most unexpectedly defeating the two cracks, Gardevisure and Kate Hampton, by a head, after a slashing race. The chief event of the first day is always the Great Eastern Handicap, one of those T.Y.C. scrambles that everybody condemns, while everybody gambles on them. Always bringing together large fields, with a great probability that the first away will be also the first past the chair, they are the greatest uncertainties, an outsider generally disappointing the favourite's backers. There was the usual delay at the post, the Hersey filly and Vandervelde getting away in front when the flag fell, H. Grimshaw, who was riding Gemma, waiting with great patience until the last moment (she being of an uncertain temper), when he brought her out, and of ter a fine race with Cadeau and Vandervelde defeated the former by a neck. An interesting meeting between Ely and Baragah, in the Grand Duke Michael, in which the former was tha victor, brought the day's racing to a close. There was very little speculation on future events teyond the advance of the Calista colt to the premiership for the Cesarewitch, and Thalestris, after her easy win in the Triennial, coming somewhat into favour for the same event. Third Year of the Fifteenth Triennial Produce Stakes of 10 eovs each, for 4-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 41b. The second horse to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent, and the third a sum equal to 5 per cent on the whole stake. D.I. 39 subs. Lord Coventry's Thalestris (J.

Thalestris got away with a clear lead of a couple of lengths of Scaniander, who was iollowo 1 by Ttueos and Early Purl on the left. They ran in these positions to the new ground, when Early Purl drew forward, and on the retirement of Mr Cartwright's colt at the commencement of the rails ho became second, but in turn gave way to Turcos half way up the hill, but who was never enabled to reach the leader, who won with great ease by three lengths; a bad third.

Tho favourite, in company with Effie, Jessie, Cobweb, and Fanny, got away in advance and ran in close company to the bushes, whereWatchbox and Effio singled themselves out and finished the race home, the former, who always had the best of it, winning cleverly by a length. Fanny finished a bad third, Nimrod was fourth, and Lytham fifth. The nest division was headed by Jessie and Cobweb.

King of Clubs, on the left, was the first away, and made the running, having Usher and Tiptoe as his immediate followers into the cords, where the former drew away and won very cleverly by a length. Tipton finished a bad third. The Hopeful Stakes of 40 sovs each, h ft, for two-yr-old colts, Bat 101 b; and fillies, 88t 81b. Winners extra, with oertain allowances.

After a few failures they were despatched in close com pany, Kate Hampton, with Cordelia and Gardevisure, hav ing a slight advantage, closely followed by Puritan, bond, Shrapnel, Todleben, Lady Egidia, and Venus to the bushes, where Cordelia gave way, leaving Kate Hampton with a clear lead of the favourite, the pair being joined halfway down the hill by Puritan, who headed them in the oorde, and won a fine race in the last stride by a head; a like dis tance separated the second and third ; Shrapnel finished fourth close up, Cordelia was fifth, and close in her wake came Todleben, Lady Egidia, and Queen Mary, the last two being Tilt and Fravolina. The Great Eastern Railway Handicap, a sweepstakes of 15 sovs each, 6 ft, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds and up.. wards ; winners extra.

Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was lost at the post before Mr M‘George was enabled to lower his flag, when lhry got away in an extended lino across the course. The Ilersey filly, on the right, being the first away, came on slightly in advance of Biondella,Vandervelde, and Woldga, and in the centre were Gemmrt, Myrtle, Cadeau, Almack, and Exchequer, the others, who were Leaded by Crytheia, Confederate, Clairvoyante, and Echo, lying close in their rear, the last of all being Isca, who got badly away. As they neared the hill the Hersey filly dropped away, and the running was taken up by Vandervelde, closely attended by CaJean, Myrtle, Gemma, and Woldga, who ran so wido that it was with difficulty their precise positions could be dis cerned, but as they entered the cords the count's colt ob tained a decided advantage, which he retained to within a dozen strides of the chair, where he ran out upon being called upon, which let up Gamma and Cadeau. The three finished a fine race, Grimshaw, by patience alone, landing Gamma the winner in the last stride by a neck, Cadeau obtaining the second money by a head from Yaudervelde, BETTING AT MIDNIGHT.

SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT AT THE JUNCTION Or LUD GATE-HILL, BRIDGE-STREET, FLEET -STREET, AND FARRINGDON-STREET. The Engineer to the Commission, Mr War. HA.YwooD, presented to the Court the follow ing report : " To the Honourable the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of Loudon. " Gentlemen,—lt has been arranged with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company that the Commis sion shall, under certain conditions, purchase of the com pany ground belonging to them. so as to make Ludgate hill, went of the point where the railway bridge will cross that street, GO feet in width. "The time for making final arrangements as to this widening is now approaching, and it appears to use upon con sideration that a favJurable opportunity presents itself for effecting a larger and more important improvement at that spot, by which the mixing of the trac ic, -which is now incon venient and even dang , r,us to pedestrians as well us to vehicles, may be greatly red aced, if not altogether prevented. "By the plan which I bog to lay before you it is proposed to form a circus 160 fact in diameter at the juneiion of Lud gate- hill, Bridge-street, Fleet-street, and Farribgdon-streat; to make a resting place in the centre of the c'rcus, and thus to cause the (rattle going in any direction to travel round it to get to the opp-site side. '' The obelisks are to be set back, resting places are to be formed round them so as to facilitate the crossing of tout passengers, and further to regulate the cerriage "As the whole of the property on the Ludgate-hill side of the circus is io be removed, the commission will only have to acquire such vacant ground as way be requisite, and one half of the circus can be carri e d out ver y shortly. It will be in itself a great easement to the truffle, even if the other side be not completed. " To complete the western half of the circus three houses only would have to be taken down ; t h es e the commission can acquire under the pow ers of its a ct, s hould it approve of the plan, and be able to obtain the funds to carry it out. " Submitting this to the consideration of your honour able Court, ." I remain, your obedient servant, (signed) " WILLIAM HAYWOOD." The CHAIRMAN explained the nature of the suggested improvement, which ho thought was one of the greatest importance tt) the public. In answer to a cptestion, Mr HAY WOOD said h e had every reascn to believe that the London, Chatham, an d Dover Railwa y would be dis posed to give their assi s t ance to the carry i l3g provement. out of the im Mr GREEN considered the subject to be one of great pub lic importance, and thought it was desirable that it should be referred to the Improvement Committee to consider and report. He would therefore move to that effect. Mr G. WALTER seconded the motion, and it was put and agreed to. SANATORY STATE Or TILE CITY. Dr LETHEBY, the medical officer of health for the City, reported on the state of 273 h ou ses that were in s pected d ur ing the past week, and ho submitted a list o f 49 p la ces ' where the orders of the Court h a d not been complied with, and he recommended that the l an dlords should be summoned before the justices. lle likewise submitted three certificates of the filthy condition of the houses Nos. 6,7, and 8 \V ide , gate-street, in order that they might be registered as coin. mon lodging houses.

Conse q ue ntly the deaths of last week are slightly abov e the avera g e From zymotic diseases, in the aggre g a te, the deaths last week were 389; in the pre vious week the number was 383. Diarrban was fatal in 7 8 cases-60 of these w ere c hild ren under two years of ago. Throo children died from cholera. Ten deaths were caused by smallpox. Measles proved fatal to 56 children. Five deaths from this disease occurred in the sub-district of Bow, 4 in that of Kensington town, and 4 in that of Amwell, Clerkenwell. Scarlatina caused 73 deaths; of these 6 occurred in tho sub-dTtrict of St. John, West minster, and 6in that of Greenwich West, Twelve dee' lis occurred from diphtheria —three of these in Piunistead. Ono hundred and twenty-eight persons died from disease of the brain and nervous system, 56 from diseases of the heart, and 148 from diseases of the respiratory organs (ex clusive of phthisis, which caused 132 deaths). Forty-one persons lost their lives by accidents of various kinds. No less than 11 persons were killed by vehicles in the streets. Three children and one adult lost their lives by burning.

Last week the births of 975 boys and 978 girls, in all 1953 children, were regist red in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1804-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,881. The report adopted at the annual meeting in London of the General Shipowners' Society. on August 2, states that " the bill mentioned in the previous report, which was introduced into Par liament last session by the hon. member for Birkens head, having for its object the regulating, the proving, and sale of chain cable and anchors, was, for several reasons, withdrawn. Early in the session of the present a bill for similar objects was intro duced into the House of Commons, which bill has now, after considerable opposition, passed the Legis lature and come into operation. Your committee regret that the provisions of this bill, conferring powers on the Board of Trade to grant licences, did not confine the testing of the cables and anchors to public machines, instead of extending it also to ',private persons.' It is still, however, in the power of shipowners and others to have their cables and anchors tested at public establishments should they prefer it. And no ship can now be classed with the figure 1, in Lloyd's register of shipping, unless provided with anchors and chains proved at a public machine. On the whole, your committee regard the measure as a benefit conferred, not only on shipowners but on the public interest in general, affording as it does protection to life and propertyeng gaged in maritime commerce ; and they would em brace this opportunity of expressing the deep sense entertained by them of the obligations which they and the shipping interest must feel to the hon.' member, Mr Laird, who not only brought the bill into Parliament, but by his personal exertions greatly contributed to carrying this important mea sure to a successful issue." There are other gentlemen too, besides Mr Laird, to whom the eha:nmakers and the public owe many thanks for their energy and devotion i❑ the agita tion for the establishment of a compulsory proof. Foremost amongat these is Mr John Trotman, the inventor of the patent anchor. The wreck of the Royal Charter proved to Mr Trotman the great in- terest the c'.:ultry had in abolishing the silo of in ferior cables. He wrote to new pipers, discussed the question with practical men, and corresponded with the operative chainmakers, who several months previous to the wreck of the Royal Char ter had issued a circular (Tecribin g the inferior cha racter of much of the chain that was manurac- Lured, and otherwise aided in bringing about the passing of the bill. --- Naval and Military Intelligence. MALTA, Sept. 22. Her Majesty's despatch steamer Psyche left Malta on the 15th September with despatches fw• the Naval Cummander-in-Chief, and mails for the ships of war accompanying him, which reached C4stelle.mare, in the Bay of Naples, on the 10th. Mr Nugent, the flag-lieutenant of Rear-Admiral Austin, and Mrs Nugent and child, were passen gers by the Psyche, which returned to Malta with despatches and mai's for England on the 21st of September. Her Majesty's ecrew steam corvette Racer, left on the 15th f or C a p e R as - e l e Ti en, i n the Pashalic of Bengizi, to assist the Fanny Lambert in lifting, splicing, and repairing the cable between this last named port and Alexandria. Mr Gib son, the Government Inspector of Telegraphs, went by the Racer. Her Majesty' s screw steam gunboat Wanderer arrived on the 16th from Zante. Her Majesty's screw steam gunboat Foxhound left on the 19th for Gibraltar and Spithead, having been upwards of four y ears i n commission. Her Ma jesty's screw line of - battle ship Meeanee arrived on the 21st from Gibraltar, with supernumeraries for file squadron, brought out as far as Gibraltar by the Warrior. The French steam frigate Cacique, having on board their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Lucien Murat and family, left Malta for the Piraeus of Athens on the 13th of September. The Ottoman steam frigate Feizi Balari left for Alex andria and Constantinople on the 14th of Sept. The Russian screw steam frigate Deg arrived at Malta from the Pit Mae on the 16th of Sept., and iname■ diately saluted the garrison. 'Bac salute was not re• turned until 14 hours after, which gave great um• brage, and is said to have been the subject of an official complaint. She - put to sea again on the even ing of the 19th for Cadiz, Cherbourg, and Cron stadt. A Confederate war steamer, bark rigged, is reported by Capt. Browne, of the bark Craw fords, which arrived yesterday from Newcastle, to have been fallen in with by him between Pan tel leria and Gozo on the afternoon of the 20th of Sept tember. A large Federal merchant ship, with wheat, from Taganrog for Malta, for orders, and several fruit ships homeward bound, from Smyrna, are known to be on their voyage, and may possibly be the game for which the Confederate war steamer is seeking. The iron frigate Achilles, 20, 6,121 tons, 1,250 horse power, Capt. E. W. Vansittart, will only re ceive a portion of her officers and crew at Chatham, the remainder of the ship's company joining on the frigate arriving at Spithead. It was originally in tended not to commission the Achilles until sbe arrived at Portsmouth, bat as it was essential that she should be completed and sent to sea before the winter, it was considered that a portion of her offi cers and crew, as well as the whole of her Marines, should join to hasten the work of fitting her. The following officers who have been appointed to the Achilles have already joined and taken up their commissions :—Capt. E. W. Vansittart ; Comman- , der W. H. Mist ; R. L. Cleveland, mailer ; G. F. A. Drew, surgeon ; G. R. Pickthorn, M.D., assist. surg. ; H. N. M. Sedgwick, acting assist-surg, ; J. Leys, chief engineer ; W. H. Elliott, G. L. P.D. Keelin, and 'l'. Richards, engineers; H. R.

The Taeping rebellion has at length been brought to a close, and the question as to whether our policy should be on© of intervention or non-intervention effectually set at rest, at least for a time. Nankin fell into the hands of the Imperialists, after several days' fighting, on the 19th inst., together with the principal rebel leaders. The Tien-wang, the rebel Emperor, avoided the pain of witnessing this final disaster by taking gold-leaf two days previously. When the besiegers commenced their attack the Chung.wang escaped, with the Tien‘wang's young son and several others, but was taken, having given up his pony to the young Prince; the Kan-wang, who has frequently been mentioned by visitors toi Nankin as the Shield King, is also a prisoner. Whether it be that recent information by spies of the miserable state of the garrison induced the Im perialist leaders to shake off the apathy in the hope of an easy conquest, or whether Gordon's instruc tions during his recent visit showed them that their task was easier than they anticipated, they shortly after his visit began to show signs of unwonted vigour. A breach of 120 feet in width was made in the outer wall, by the explosion of a mine near the east gate, containing above 60,0001 b of powder, and by the 19th, the whole city was in their hands. The news reached Pekin on the 24th, having been forwarded by couriers, at the rate of more than 100 miles a day. Few details have yet been received of the closing scenes of the siege, so I am only able to give you a brief outline of the occurrences. Nan kin, as is well known, was defended by three walls — an outer wall, a second surrounding the Tartar city, and a third which had been constructed round the Tien-wang's Palace. The Tartar city was not gar risQued by the rebels, so the assailants had only two lines of defence to attack. An assault was made on the outer wall at dawn on the 18th, and before noon it had been carried at every part, and the garrison had fallen back within the inner line f fatifications. The steamer Confucius, which is under charter to the Shangtung guild of merchants at Shanghai, chanced to be lying off Nankin at the time, and rendered efficient service by engaging two strong batteries that the rebels had erected facing the river, and which had hitherto defic'l the distant off arts of the Imperialist gunboats. Toe Confucius, which is commanded by an American, had been sent up by the Chinese authorities to con vey treasure to the Imperialist troops, and Captain It awse deemed he would be rendering them agree :able service by availing himsalf of the opportunity frered to lend them the aid of other metal wt.ich he carried as well. Her 18 pounders soon made the batteries un►.enable for the rebels, who abandoned them after half an hcur's sharp engagement during which the Confucius lost two men killed and had a third wounded, and the Imperialist gunboats came up and took possession. The troops, on their part, lest very little time in following up their first success; the second line of &Lace was atb ta2ked and carried before daylight on the fol owing morning, and by the evening of the 19th all Nankin was in their hands. The fortifications which had been erected round the Tien - wang's palace are said to have been defended with desperation ; but the garrison was too weak to resist the large forces that the Imperialists were able to bring against them,and the latter soon effected an entrance by battering down one of the gates. The first sight which met the victors on entering the palace was the corpse of the Tien-wang, lying Lvidently in the position in which he had died, and the bodies of a number of his wives hanging from the trees in the garden. The Kan-wang was here arrested, and with the Chung-wang, whose capture 1 have already alluded to, now lies a prisoner in the house of the Imperialist commander, awaiting sen tence from Pekin. Chung-wang estimates the strength of the rebel garrison at from 18,000 to 20,000, and does not attempt to disguise the straits to which they wore reduced. He is said to be intent on writing his life. There can be little doubt that he will be condemned to death ; indeed, it would be unwise on the part of the Government to set so fa mous a leader at liberty, as his name would attract thousands of the disaffected from every part of the empire if he chose again to raise the standard of rebellion. Of the garrison, part escaped, and part were made prisoners, It does not seem that any excesses were committed by the Imperialist soldiery, as has been the case on other occasions. The city is miserably dilapidated, and the streets were full of the bodies of persons who had evidently died of starvation. No loot of value was found, except the Tien-Wang's seal, which was ofsolid gold, and weighing 301 b. Neither Tsan-kwo-fan, the Viceroy of the two Kiangs, nor the Futai, was present at the capture. The fortu nate commander is Tsan-kwo-tsun, brother of the Viceroy, who is not unlikely to got the Futaiship of this province as a rewar d. Th e presen t F uta i will probably be speedily promoted to a Viceroyalty, and as he has established a reputation for talent in crushing rebellion, a part of the empire which is infested by other bands of brigands will no doubt be selected as his new scene of action. There are plenty such—Fokhein, Kianesi, Tze-chnen, Honan, Shonse. Kansuh, are all more or less disturbed by hordss of Nien-feis—as these bands of robbers are termed—so numerous and formidable that they almost deserve the name of rebels. Disturbance and brigandage are the normal conditions of China, and at the present moment Kiang - su and Che-keang, lately the scene of so severe a struggle, are pro. bably the most tranquil provinces in the empire. BLP, whatever other disturbances may exist, the Taeping rebellion may now be fully said to be sub dued, since the Emperor is dead, and all its noted chiefs in the hands of the Imperialists. Istlukin will now be opened to foreign trade. It was not named in our treaty, but the sixth erticle of the French treaty stipulated that French sub jects should be allowed to establish themselves there directly it was recovered from the rebels; and under the " most favoured nation"clause in the treaties with England and America, subjects of those countries will enjoy the same privilege. The privilege, however, will certainly for a long time b a barren one, and even in the end is not likely tolbe worth much. The city is a heap of ruins, with the exception of the small corner occupied by the rebels; even the Palace of the Tien-wang has been burnt, and years will elapse before it can approache nearly to its former size. The country immediately surrounding it is a desert,and what trade there is in produce with the neighbouring districts flows to ROCHDALE.—On Monday morning, between half past 12 and 1, the vibration of an esitbquako was with startling distinctness felt in Rochdale and its suburbs. Watches and clocks were stopped, four posters were violently shaken, doors and windows were rattled, bells were tinkled, dogs were set bark ing and howling, and policemen on their beats frightened. In one case a lady living in a villa on the Manchester-road was so frightened by the tremor of the earth that she got up and rung the bell, called up the servants, had the gases lit, and for nearly a couple of hours the household were in a great state of alarm, waiting probably for another shock, but their expeetefons were agreeably die. appointed. Superintendent Pickering, of the county constabulary, was awoke while in bed by the shock, and says he heard a noise as if a waggon with a large boiler upon it was going down the street. In spector Cragg, of the borough police, while standing in the police office with his hand holding a bannister, felt it and the room violently shake, and heard a rum 4 bling noise like distant thunder. Police officer O'Brian walking his beat felt the earth beneath his feet shake, and heard an unearthly sound. The night porter at the railway station, seated in his cabin, was much alarmed by the room and signal wires which pass through it vibrate and rattle, and he hoard a noise similar to that of an engine passing over an arch. way. A large number of other persons in the town felt the shock, and most of them agree that it was about a quarter to one when it took place. (From the Manchfster Guardian ) We have received teveral communications from which there can be no doubt that there was a slight shock of an earthquake in this district, shortly after midnight on Sunday. The time is variously stated from 12 30 a.m. to 12.10 a.m. The shock is dc scribed as having produced the sensation of the bed having been lifted in some cases, while other ob servers state that houses were shale - en. The earth quake, which was accompanied by a lox rumbling noise, lasted about two seconds, and seemed to pass from narth•east to south-west. It was felt in Higher and Lower Breuizliton, in Greenheys, in Pendltbary, at Ilebden Bridge, and at CJithorec. The night was very calm and rather w I'mn. It is rather singular that the last earthqukc which was felt over a large portion of this c:nantry occurred about this time of the year, namely, on. the 6th of October, 1863. .(From the Manchester Courier.) A rumbling noise, accompanied by a tremulous motion of the earth, and other indications of the shock from an earthquake, was heard in many parts of this coanty and Yorkshire shortly after midnight on Sunday. A Rochdale correspondent writes ; " A very distinct shock of earthquake, preceded by a rumbling noise, was felt at Rochdale about one o'clock yesterday morning. Several of the inhabi• tants were awoke from their sleep, and at a public. house of the inmates, fearing there were burglars on the premises, got up and searched the house. The night porter at the railway station also experienced the shock, and stated it to have lasted about twelve seconds. In some instances there was a sensible shaking of the whole building." Similar reports have reached us from Bacup, Hebden Bridge, and Broughton, but in Manchester and Salford the shock does not appear to have bean very sensibly felt, though some people, concurring in a point of time, speak of having felt a vibration which lasted a few seconds. (From theXanelicster Examiner.) Shortly after midnight on Sunday a shock of earthquake was felt in this neighbourhood. At Heben Bridge, the railway porter at the station was alarmed by the large factories near trembling from their foundations, as he expressed it, " like a cradle." Several persons in the village were awoke by tho general tremor that seems to have passed through the village ; and various are the descrip tions of the :phenomena, some comparing it to thunder felt, but not heard, others to shaking, rock• ing, &c. The shock appears to have been felt by a few persons in the neigbourhood of Manchester. One gentleman, residing in Broughton, informs us that he was awoke by it, at half-past twelve o'clock Another gentleman, also residing at Brougton,says that he observed it. At Pendlebury, too, we learn that the shock was felt there at the same time as in Broughton. In Regent-road, Salford, and also in Bonsall-street, Hulme, a tremulous motion, last ing only a few seconds, was perceived. "An Ob 4 server," dating from Sedgley-park, Prestwick, says, "Between twelve and four o'clock this morning I was alarmed by a loud noise, as if a heavy weight had fallen in the middle of the room. I was at the time in a sound sleep, but I distinctly felt my bed shake. lat once got up to ascertain the cause, but none was visible. Others of my family felt the same shock, and it extended to the stable yard where my servant was sleeping." Our Bacup correspondent says :—" On Saturday night, at half•past twelve o'clock, many of the inhabitants were startled out of bed by * the sharp shock of an earthquake, which in. some houses set the pots and pans violently rattling, and which was felt through the town and suburbs. It appears to have been more severely left on the Yorkshire side of Bacup—Todmorden-road and Brickfield. The motion felt was not so much of a vibration as a sharp, sudden shock, as if some giant power had qeiz.:(l the houses and given them a violent, 'momen tary shock, and all was over. At the same time the shock passed over the night was warm and star.. light, though not very clear. An hour before it v; as intensely dark." From Haelingden a correspondent writes :—" A severe shock of an esrft q ial:o was felt here this morning at 12,30, v; ;rich lasted four seconds. the time there was a dunce fug, and the writer experienced a sense of suffJe a' ion." THE COST OF CAELOWI:N. By Mary Howitt. 3 vels.—" This tale deserves high praise. It will be found extremely interesting, not merely from its local truth, but from the able manner in which different phases of character aro contrasted in it, as well as the insight shown respecting the workings of the heart and conscience. The care and thought bestowed upon it raise it far Leyoud iLe ordinary level of fiction, and it will doubtless gain the popularity it nitrite."—Dispatch.
